On TIE Eight-Hour Movement and Other
Interesting Labor Topics.
The Pittsburgh Dispatch of The 18th
says: John Mcbride, President OF the
Ohio Miners, of Massillon, o., was at
the st. James Hotellast night, having
come to this city from the convention
of the Federation of Trades in Balti-
more, on his way home.
In conversation with a Dispatch re-
porter upon the subject of labor, Mr..
Mcbride stated that while he does not
want to be considered free trader, he
nevertheless believes that a protective
tariff does not always prove to be Of the
hest advantage to the country nor to
Tailoring men.
In regard TO the working hours Of
laborers he said: ~ think that eight
hours work would not only be quite
sufficient for any man TO work, but it
would even be benefit to the tsxpay-
ing community There are 100000
laboring men in this country, of whom
about 100000 are idle. Now at the
present time these 100000 idle men
have to be maintained by the rest of
the people. These 100000 people that
are occupied work every day about II
hours on the average. Now if these
100000 would only work eight hours a
day, then, in order to produce as much
as before, the demand for labor would
increase to such an amount that the
100000 idlers would find employment

Mr.. William Mullen, of Connellsville,
the Secretary OF the Coke Workers
Union, passed through the city yesterr
day on his way home from the Balti-
more Convention of the Federation Of
Trades. "Our convention was a great
success" he said, was great success
throughout, and there is no doubt tnat
a great deal of satisfaction will be
gotten out of its results. We are now
over 100000 members strong in the
Federation and number, therefore.

What effect do you suppose the dis.
solution Of the coke syndicate will have
upon the coke business and the coke
workers in the regiOn?" was asked.
There is no doubt that great
amount OF competition will now mani
fest itself, which may eventually knock
down the price OF coke. OF course, the
men will endeaVor to restrict the price
of coke as much as possible. There is
only one way Of doing that and this is
what shall propose to the workers,
and l feel confident that they will feel
agreeable in adopting it: The men to
restrict the price of the product Of coke
have to restrict the output; that is they
must work only for sufficient time to
keep the supply Of coke equal to the
demand.
''As soon as there is too much on I
hand then the operators will be inde-
pendent and they can talk to the work
ers, but while there is never more coke
than is wanted there viii always be
work. If that plan can be kept up
g e,erything will so all right and no
strike need be feared"

and plain duty that we owe the peopie
is tOreduce taxation to the necessary
expenses of an economicslioperatiOn of
the government and to restore to the
business Of the country the money
which we hold in the treasury through
the perversion of governmental powers
These things can and should be done
with safety TO all our industries, with
out danger to the opportunity for re-
munerative labor which our working

and all our people, by cheapening their

SKILLED workmen in any branch of
industry win always have plenty Of en-
ployment at reasonable wages. They
fear not the bugaboo of foreign pauper
labor" Paupers in one place are the
same as paupers anywhere. Their
labor is always unskilled, slovenly, poor
and costly. They are not dreaded in
competition by workingmen at home;
and for the same reason pauper labor
is not to be dreaded df any such exists
in the manufacturing industries of
Europe. 1t is not so much a question
of tariff as it is a question of compe-
tence and ability and willingness to
work.

GRAB schemes are developing at
Washington.
The reintroduction of Senator Blair's
bill for National aid to common
schools" is a heavy gun aimed to relieve
the treasury of its surplus.
OF course there is no excuse for
Blaine's scheme. 1t is mere grab
game; like the new pension grab, the
river and harbor grab, the public build
ings grab, and many others.
Stop the surplus and these raiding
schemes will stop. The money pile is

THE Tory party in Great Britain is
the protection party there. The Tory
administration however, dare not pro-
pose bill, for it would burst them.
The Republican party of the United
States is much like their Tory brother,
and the South is their Ireland. They
would re-establish over our Southern
States the only domination of modern
times that is comparable with that of
the Tories in Ireland for cruelty, ra-
pacity, venality and responsibility.

Saturday afternoon at his residence on
Record street, from the effect OF two
paralytic strokes received last week.
Mr. Hobart was seventy-six years of
age and had been a resident of Minne-

Hobart, leves in New Mexico. Mr. Ho-
bart's twin brother, Rev. Chauncey Ilo-
bart, has been ut his bedside during his
illness, together with the daughters.
These brothers were thought to be the
oldest living twins in the state. Mr..
Hobart was well known throughout the
state. He was ane of Minnesota's pio-
neers, having come here before the ter
ritory was organized into statehood.
The remains were taken to Cannon
Falls this afternoon, via the Cannon Val
ley R.R., where they will be inferred in
the family burying ground. The body
was accompanied to the depot bv the
Masons, Of which society the deceased
was a member, and by large concourse
of friends. The Borrowing wife and
children and brother accompanied the
remains to Cannon Falls, AZ did also

morning to take action on the applica-
tons for liquor licenses. There being no
complaints, licenses were ordered grant
ed to all the applicants except Messrs.
Robson and Herbert on condition that
they comply with the state law and city
ordinances. The applications of Messrs
Robson and Herbert were laid over.
Plumbers licenses were granted to

The chairman on city property was
authorized to rent the city hall for

radical changes and this Is evidently
one of them.-St. Peter Herald.
Why don't you tell the truth ifyou are
going to say anything about the matter?
The Herald knows that the liquor law
does not contemplate that city shall
take census in order to determine what
license shall be charged. According to
the last official census Mankato did not
have 10000. Although it is well known
the city will number more than that
now, there Is no official authority on the
subject, and therefore no way to make
the license 81 1000. When We have
another census, Mankato will show up
with from 10000 to 1900, and the sa-
loonists will have to "pony up" accord
ingly-or go to St. Peter, where there is
no danger of their ever reaching the
81 900 limit.
